Euro 2028 venues and stadiums: every confirmed host ground

UEFA Euro 2028 now has a confirmed shape: 51 fixtures, nine venues, eight host cities and four host countries across England, Wales, Scotland and the Republic of Ireland.

Quick answer: the Euro 2028 venues are Cardiff, Dublin, Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and London, with London hosting two grounds: Wembley Stadium and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The host map spans four countries. Compare the full journey between your chosen venues, including accommodation, airport or station transfers and cancellation terms. A compact map does not establish low costs or easy ticket access.

For venue details, use our Euro 2028 stadium hub. For ticket timing and safety, read our Euro 2028 tickets and host cities guide. This guide explains the confirmed host roles and the checks needed before booking a route.

Euro 2028 stadiums at a glance

UEFA has confirmed the opening match will be at the National Stadium of Wales in Cardiff on Friday 9 June 2028. The final week will be at Wembley Stadium, with semi-finals on Tuesday 4 July and Wednesday 5 July, then the final on Sunday 9 July.

The route through the host countries

Cardiff hosts the opening match on 9 June 2028 at the National Stadium of Wales, also known as Principality Stadium. Check your arrival, assigned entrance and return journey against the event instructions.

Dublin Arena, better known as Aviva Stadium, is the Republic of Ireland’s host venue. Check accommodation for your dates and the complete journey to the stadium before treating Dublin as a separate weekend or combining it with another city.

Hampden Park brings the national-stadium feel in Glasgow. If Scotland qualify directly, UEFA says Scotland would play three group-stage games at Hampden. That would make Glasgow one of the emotional centres of the group stage.

England: old grounds, new grounds and Wembley gravity

St James’ Park is Newcastle’s confirmed host venue. Compare the route from your chosen station or accommodation to the entrance on your ticket; a city-centre location does not remove matchday walking and crowd-management checks.

Manchester City Stadium is the UEFA name for the Etihad Stadium. Everton Stadium is UEFA’s Liverpool venue, known locally as Hill Dickinson Stadium. Check the tournament’s entrance and transport instructions rather than assuming club-match arrangements will apply.

Villa Park and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium are also confirmed venues. Wembley hosts both semi-finals and the final. Those roles establish the itinerary dates, not a verified ranking of hotel prices or ticket demand.

What is still conditional

UEFA has confirmed the tournament format will remain 24 teams, with six groups followed by the knockout rounds. UEFA has also explained the group-head structure: if they qualify directly, England, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Scotland and Wales have pre-selected group-stage venue plans.

That does not mean every host team is automatically in the finals. Treat national-team routes, ticket demand and fan-base locations as provisional until qualifying and the final draw are complete.

Planning a Euro 2028 groundhopping route

Choose venues around confirmed matches, valid tickets and complete journeys. Compare accommodation and cancellation terms for each date. Adding another city is optional: check the timetable and return options before paying for a second match or overnight stay.

Record attended matches in Footbeen; the stadium tracker explains stadium tracking. Research venues with the public website’s stadium map and football travel planner, and read the groundhopping guide before booking. These web planning resources do not turn a proposed visit into a recorded match attendance.

Euro 2028 tickets: what fans should do now

UEFA.com/tickets: UEFA says public ticket sales will start after the final tournament draw, expected in December 2027. Prices and full ticket details are due in autumn 2027. Hospitality is a separate official programme. For the detailed safety and host-city version, use the Euro 2028 tickets and host cities guide.

That means any site claiming guaranteed general tickets before UEFA opens its official process deserves suspicion. Create or update your myUEFA account, subscribe for official updates, and wait for UEFA's sales windows rather than handing money to a resale page with no official connection.

Ticket + travel checklist

• Use UEFA.com/tickets and UEFA's official hospitality links only.
• Check official eligibility, sale phases and allocations for each match; hosting the tournament does not guarantee ticket availability.
• Book flexible travel until you know the fixture, venue and ticket category.
• For city-centre venues such as Cardiff, Newcastle and Glasgow, compare rail arrival times with stadium entry windows.
• Record the match in Footbeen after attending it, with the stadium, photos and notes. Keep your travel itinerary separate from your attendance record.
